In Reply to: Demo DVD: Final Fantasy posted by Rob Thomas on November 28, 2001 at 16:34:32:
The wife and I were very impressed with this sleeper last summer when we caught it openning weekend in a nearly empty theater. It's too bad that Final Fantasy bombed at the box office because it's computer animation is visually eye-popping; real cutting edge stuff. The story is sophisticated as well and holds up with repeated viewings. One can only speculate as to why it didn't do well at the box-office: perhaps it was the too familiar game-oriented title, it's adult theme or maybe just an ineffectual ad campaign that failed to grab the public's attention. Whatever the unfortunate circumstances that led to it's early demise in theaters, Final Fantasy lives up to it's promise on DVD and, IMHO, every SF fan who missed it initially should give this a viewing and consider adding it to their collections.AuPh
